Sony Michael or Derrick Henry?

Postby Avery » Fri Aug 17, 2018 6:54 pm

PPR.

All things being equal, who would you want to have and why?

Henry is still young but in a time share with Dion Lewis brought in to catch the football out of the backfield.
Sony Michel is unproven but will he ever be allowed to "be the man" in NE?

What say you?

I've seen Henry play, and while he may never be an RB 1, he can put up some big numbers. Haven't seen Michael yet...

X2. I think Henry is talented and all, but in PPR, he just won’t be used enough in the passing game for my taste.

I try to be on "talent over situation" guy but both seem to have situational roadblocks: Henry has Dion Lewis and Michel has Bellichick and his vast variance of game by game scripting.

It is concerning that the people who know Henry's game best thought it was best to pay a FA RB a lot of money but I might take the risk there over years of trying to read the tea leaves on what Bellichick may do a given game. Just thinking about Michel, I have visions of Michel becoming a lead back and then in week 16 the Patriots go run and shoot and game with 5 wide because he spotted a weakness in the competition.

I'm not sure I want that stress in my life.

Interesting that we are about 50/50 here.

Bold.

I agree with post about situational roadblocks, but I'd take Michel due to his PPR upside.

I could be wrong, but I think Henry is a perfectly fine pass catching RB. He's (obviously) no Dion Lewis or Barkley but I think he is just fine at it in the mold of a "traditional" RB if he is ever given the opportunity.
